Are you struggling with knee instability, pain, or difficulty in performing daily or sports activities after a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury? PCL Reconstruction Surgery in Lucknow, performed by Dr. Yogesh Jain, provides an advanced solution to restore knee stability and function. With expertise in arthroscopic ligament reconstruction and sports injury care, Dr. Jain helps patients regain mobility, strength, and confidence.
The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is one of the main stabilizing ligaments of the knee, located at the back of the joint. Injuries to the PCL often occur during sports, road accidents, or high-impact trauma. While mild sprains can sometimes be managed conservatively, complete PCL tears usually require surgical reconstruction for long-term stability.
PCL Reconstruction Surgery involves replacing the torn ligament with a tendon graft, often taken from the hamstring or quadriceps, and securing it using arthroscopic keyhole techniques. This minimally invasive approach ensures faster recovery, smaller scars, and reduced post-operative pain.
Common Causes:
Sports injuries from sudden stops, falls, or collisions
Road traffic accidents, especially dashboard impacts
Severe twisting of the knee during activities
High-energy trauma or multiple ligament injuries
Recognizing Symptoms:
Pain at the back of the knee
Swelling and stiffness after injury
Knee instability or difficulty walking downhill
A feeling of looseness or giving way
Difficulty returning to sports or strenuous activity
Anesthesia – General or regional anesthesia ensures comfort.
Arthroscopic Access – Small incisions with camera-guided visualization.
Graft Harvesting – Tendon grafts (hamstring or quadriceps) are taken.
Tunnel Creation – Bone tunnels are prepared to position the graft.
Graft Fixation – The graft is secured, functioning like a natural PCL.
Closure – Minimal scarring with small sutures.
This minimally invasive technique ensures quicker recovery and reduced post-surgery discomfort.

Weeks 6–12: Improved stability with advanced strengthening and balance training.
6–9 Months: Return to sports-specific training and high-intensity activities.
